Finding joy in the everyday has really become something I strive to do consistently and with purpose.  With that, I can tell you it has made a huge difference in how I approach my life and the amount of joy I find in each day.  Adding that same level of contentment into your daily style also works wonders for how you feel while heading out into the day you've planned.  

Today's look is inspired by that line of thinking as it embodies simple pieces, basic colors and classic style perfect for late summer.  Of course, you can never go wrong with black and white no matter what the season.  For summer, however, I love to somewhat color block my outfit and then tie it all together with some nice accessories and footwear to finish off the look.

This top is so fresh and fun.  And while I've styled it numerous ways before, I tend to really like it on top of a pair of wide leg trousers as the two shapes and cuts really balance each other out that way.  Then either some white trainers for a more casual look or a pair of black double strap sandals to elevate things  slightly while keeping it summery and light.  I think I do prefer the latter option as adding a bit of black at the bottom helps to balance the eye and thus the overall look you're achieving.

Accessorizing the look will be easy with some neutral bits like this tortoise shell headband, a straw hat with black detail and some lovely little gold hoops.  Black sunglasses, always if you know me,  a swipe of soft color on the lips and you are finished.

Easy dressing and I have such an affinity for each other, haha.  All these pieces or some similar are linked below.  Love to know your thoughts as well as what you'd like to see next.  Until then...happy summer!

There's something just so chic about basic colors, classic silhouettes and timeless accessories.  They make getting dressed so very simple all year long.  And, of course, summer is no exception to that.  These gorgeous pieces featured here today express my love of simple dressing so perfectly.  A few of them are, however, not inexpensive.  And while I'm all for grabbing a bargain when I see one, I also think that a good investment is ne you will have in your closet for years to come and will be something you wear endlessly and with love.

This dress is one piece that will take you to a number of places all season long.  Style it up with a pair of heeled sandals, some lovely gold jewelry and this neck scarf to wear to a lovely outdoor dinner (it looks like money but is sooooooo affordable!).  Or wear it nice and casually with these Dior sandals, some sunglasses, a low bun and this incredible tote.  It's a total winner either way but I say both.

Poolside lounging is one of my favorite summer sports and this two-piece suit is a great uniform to get these on in.  Despite the steeper price tag of the other items I'm sharing here today, this top and bottom are well under $25 each making it a steal of a deal. Both looks are worn so well with a big floppy straw hat and a swipe of this luxurious lip color to finish.

Easy and glamorous.  Isn't that the way life is supposed to be?  I think so!  Hope your week is off is a off to wonderful beginning.  Thanks for stopping by!

Black and camel has always been such a classic combo and still remains as one of my all time favorites. It speaks of old school glam and gives a nod to the origins of Chanel.  Hello, Grace Kelly.  Today's look is a modern take on this much-loved go-to as it pairs the perfect neutrals and creates the sexiest looks for fall.  This black bodycon dress hugs all the curves as it leaves a sense of mystery and allure while never revealing too much.  Pair it with these over the knee boots (obsessed!) to extended the look and give the illusion of long and lean.  A gorgeous suede jacket gives a little extra warmth and adds a sweet bit of sass.  This one is always in the rotation for me because it works with sooooo many of the pieces I own and lets me create multiple autumn looks.  Add in a few cute camel (or gold) accessories (this bag, this belt and this hat would each do the trick) and you have the perfect polished look that can take you anywhere while looking amazing.  

Hope you're having a wonderful week and have a happy Halloween!

Happy almost Labor Day!  Can you believe the end of summer is here?! I've enjoyed every single moment of this past season and I'm hoping you all did too!  So, in honor of the summer of love, I've put together a post of What to Wear outfit ideas for Labor Day.  I always find that two things work best...a mix of high and low and layers.  Whenever I take this approach it always allows me to fit my look to the occasion and mood and be sure to look and feel comfortable.  I love how that works out!  Okay so to pull it off I like to pair a summer sundress on its last hurrah with a ready for fall denim jacket.  Keep it casual with these kicks.  Add in a luxury handbag or tote because you love them and they always look right.  Then polish it off with a swipe of cherry red lipstick and your favorite summertime shades.  Pretty and perfectly prepared for the holiday weekend!

What does everyone have planned? I am going to soak up the last bit of summertime sunshine, finish up my summer beach reads and have a few LDW cocktails al fresco.  Yay!! Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday...Be sure to check back on Monday for some great Labor Day sales!

Happy Friday!  I love a good beauty haul and when  it happens in February I'm somehow even more smitten.  It seems like this time of year we are surrounded with all things pink and red which translate into angelic petal and cherry red shades of beauty.  Personally, I tend to favor those softer, ethereal glow looks with a "I woke up like this" natural feel.  So many of these picks here today give me that in all the right ways.  From this foundation to these gorgeous glosses, these are my current faves.  If you're feeling like adding a new little bit of pretty to your daily makeup rotation, I recommend giving these a try!  Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with your favorites too!

A girl's beauty bag can reveal many secrets or it can be a lifesaver for her bestie in a pinch.  No matter which, everyone's stash holds something noteworthy and needed so let's take a look.  For me, and for as long I can remember, I always had a little mantra that kept my on-the-go game strong with everything I needed right at my fingertips. "Powder, blush and lipstick!" were the three makeup must-haves that took me everywhere I needed to go and never let me down.  Very little has changed and those three are still what I reach for most although I've become more of a multitasker lately with lipstick happily standing in for blush in a rush.  In fact, I actually recommend finding which products can do double duty for you because it's a time and money win-win and no one is the wiser.   This little spill out contains some of my latest beauty loves.  See and shop them below...Have a beautiful Wednesday!

Tomorrow's the day to show and share your love.  Why not send a little of that caring your own way with a day of pampering that leaves you feeling like a queen?  Today I'm sharing some of my favorite  products and ways to treat myself to a day (or even just a few moments) of divine luxury.  This new fragrance from Tory Burch is definitely love at first sight.  The gorgeous packaging, romantic little bottle and delicious scent are exactly what you'd expect from Ms. Burch (aka the queen of affordable luxury).  So in love.  This robe is just the thing you'll want to slip into when getting ready for a great night out (or equally wonderful night in).  It is a bit on the extravagant side but this is an excellent alternate  option that's wallet friendly and just as gorgeous.  Finally, maybe the ultimate treat that'll last long after the glow of Valentine's Day, this bag is everything right now...clearly words can not do it justice, haha.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday snuggled up with the one you love!

Why hello, Monday! Look at all the lovely you brought with you!  Today's fashion inspo features some of my latest loves for fall.  And, along with the classic staples (hello plaid and equestrian styles) I'm also feeling fun prints and candy apple red accents that offer a little bit of whimsy to an otherwise standard set.  So this little sweater is so very darling and is going to let you get so many extra miles out of your fall wardrobe choices.  I like the idea of unexpectedly pairing it with a great pair of boyfriend jeans, sexy red pumps and this color blocked clutch.  Adorable!  I also want to send it on a date with a flirty black skirt, these sunnies and a classic leather jacket.  This bag from Tory Burch has seriously gotten my attention.  I mean seriously. No one is as clever at consistently reinventing themselves as the modern classic Ms. Burch.  I'm wondering where this journey away from classic monogram will lead.  This sweetly detailed jacket is the blazer reinvented for a wonderfully feminine feel.  And finally, these boots are going to be leading the way down many colorful leaf lined paths this fall.  Hope your week is off to a beautiful start!

Time for a little midweek inspo featuring some of the chicest colors and styles of the season.  Burgundy, navy and blush are beautiful closet playmates.  With each one so lovely in its own right, pieces that incorporate all three are exceptionally crush worthy.  This geometric print mini skirt from J.Crew shows why that's a definite truth.  I love the way it moves the eye while giving otherwise basic neutrals a complete overhaul.  This sweater is pure heaven.  Soft, lush, cozy and calling my name.  Think how pretty it'd be pair with winter white pants and a stone colored ankle boot.  Later it could take on the tomboy feel by matching wits with a sleek pair of black leather pants, this bag, a pair of heels and a great black hat.  Finally, these boots, this wallet and oh this bag are each on my wish list.  Hmm, I believe the holidays will be coming up…Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!
